10 Cringeworthy Pre-Russo WCW Moments

7. Chucky The Doll Makes Some Threats

In the lead up to Halloween Havoc 1998, Scott and Rick Steiner were in the midst of a feud.

All primed to settle any differences with his sibling on the upcoming pay-per-view, Rick looked to set the record straight on an episode of WCW Monday Nitro. Strangely, childish laughter started to fill the arena.

Appearing on the big screen, Chucky The Doll from the Child's Play movies told 'Mean' Gene Okerlund to shut his trap, before directing his attention towards Rick. Shilling his latest movie, the doll then traded insults with Steiner, who wanted the toy to make his way out to the ring so he could beat him up.

The situation was ludicrous, even more so when Chucky voiced his support for Scott. Cross-promotion is one thing, but boos were audible throughout the segment. Few fans could take the idea seriously, but at least WCW didn't book any follow up.

Steiner vs. Chucky wouldn't be the most far-fetched thing to ever happen in the promotion.
